Digital Eel Wants You To Play With Their Bloxs, Blobs, and Worms!
Three Digital Eel Classic Titles Available For Free!

Hampstead, NC, 23 April 2008

Many years ago, at the dawning of the new century, a trio of industry veterans gathered
together to form the ultimate independent triumvirate. Under the name Digital Eel they
plotted to storm the digital world with games of wit, ingenuity, creativity, and a healthy
dose of good ol' fashioned fun. Deep in the bowels of their sprawling Seattle
Gamecommand (actual size may vary) they hammered away at the furnaces, carefully
crafting their first game.

In 2001 Digital Eel unveiled the fruit of their labor and the world met Plasmaworm.
Now, in 2008, Digital Eel is making it available (along with two other classics from their
award-winning library of titles) to gamers everywhere for FREE!

Plasmaworm is the fiendishly addictive arcade game of weird worms eating random
probability eidolons in a tank of otherspatial plasma. Wait, what happens where? Fret
not, it's a fairly straightforward game that can be enjoyed by gamers young and old alike.

One or two players (on the same computer, in either co-op or deathmatch mode) control a
plasmaworm through twenty increasingly difficult levels of play. The worm starts off as
tiny fellow, gliding merrily along in its pulsating plasma tank by your control, on the
prowl for the eidolons that randomly spawn. Players then guide their plasmaworm to the
eidolon, gobbling it up. With each probability snack the worm grows longer. The object
of each level is to devour a certain number of objects without crashing into the walls, or
yourself, which is usually easier said than done!

Plasmaworm also features several cool elements not often seen in Snake-style games,
such as shooter elements in some of the levels, and an end game boss, the Plasmangler!
While we wouldn't want to ruin the surprise of facing the Plasmangler, we will mention
that it involves a tentacled beak, multi-layer destruction, and Plasmoidians. You can
never have enough Plasmoidians in your game!

Plasmaworm provides gamers with the signature Digital Eel gameplay; easily enjoyed in
quick bites, but just as readily enjoyed for hours at a time. Beguiling graphics and a
hypnotic soundtrack will captivate gamers, while a high score list will push them to new
limits. Plasmaworm even includes a full suite of editors that players can use to create
new levels, unleash new plasma, and even craft their own soundtrack!

Plasmaworm is available for Windows and has very modest system requirements.
Download the full game for FREE today at... wait! Digital Eel has even more games for
your downloading pleasure.

Big Box of Blox can best be summed up as Tetris on acid. So crank up some Floyd and
challenge yourself to game modes such as Flaming Peelout, Blok Atak, Groink,
Mushroom King and Asylum Cubez. Enjoy mind-blowing visuals as only Digital Eel
delivers as you smash and squish boxes with six different game variants, special blox, ten
levels of difficulty while bopping along with eight far out music tracks.

Both Windows and Mac users can trip on the Big Box of Blox.

Are you a gamer sick of blowing away Nazis, terrorists, and aliens? Ever think there has
to be something else to shoot at? Does Digital Eel have the game for you...

Dr. Blob's Organism, winner in not one, but two, IGF categories (2004 IGF Innovation In
Audio and Innovation in Visual Art), is a game about shooting one-celled organisms in a
petri dish. Think of it like the old arcade game Tempest, only with much squishier
targets. Blast blobs over twenty levels, using ten different power-ups. Three difficulty
levels, bonus levels, and five special blob abilities will keep you coming back for more
protozoan destruction. Like you've come to expect from Digital Eel gameplay is easy to
pick up but a challenge to master.

Dr. Blob's Organism is available for both Windows and Mac.
